Fall 2022 - Macie, another poor soul snared in Atley's trap, even worse, she got caught as a Freshman, completely unsuspecting, so full of eagerness and hope. Macie spent some time shadowing here and there in the Spring of 2022, but mostly she marveled at my ability to come up with excuses for why I couldn't meet up. Luckily for Macie, things eased up and now, the Fall of her sophomore year, she's officially enrolled in her Honor's college thesis right here in the old Langlais Lab. We'll be teaching her stuff like making sure she completely avoids learning how to do a BCA assay from Noah, and that she needs to steer very clear of learning glucose uptake assays from Jake, and that she absolutely cannot listen to anything Kaelie says about tissue culture. As a result, Macie has pretty much just walked around in circles since she's been here, pondering why anyone would ever do this for a living. Things are gearing up though, so, rest assured, Macie will soon be incessently failing just like the rest of us! LET'S DO THIS.
UPDATE - Fall 2024 - The rare Fall graduate, because, of course, Macie finished in 3.5 years. Did you know Macie scored PERFECT on the MCAT? She's currently in a gap year to gain OBGYN experience before heading to, what I can only assume, is her choice of whichever medical school she would like to go to. They'll be lucky to have her. Looking forward to hearing from Macie when she sets the next stage of her career.
